Review

A veteran of the British dance-music scene, DJ Pete Tong proves with his first major-label mix release in the U.S. that experience means everything when it comes to calibrating the mood of the dance floor. Using a genuine dance lover's sense of pace and mood, Tong has constructed a mix that brings to mind Buenos Aires at 3 a.m., New York City at 3:30, or maybe just your own favorite living room dance space. Because quite simply, the likes of Trisco, Way Out West (a project of DJ Nick Warren's), and Blaze will not allow you to sit still.

It seems churlish to pick out peaks in a veritable mountain range of late-night classics, but perhaps only Tong could find the superb David Morales remix of Photek's "Mine to Give." Sister Bliss, featuring John Martyn's "Deliver Me" (Mix One-12" Mix), offers altitude, raw sex, and dirty dance-floor moves, while the freeway-burning "Futureshock" by Sparc happily pushes physical and mental accelerators to their limits. With Essential, Pete Tong has created a steamy, sensual, disco-fused house mix that doesn't deny the vitality of trance. --Steffan ChiraziOne of the world's biggest DJ's, Pete Tong was responsible for bringing the influential Detroit and Chicago house and techno sound to the UK in the late '80's. He's also overseen the careers of Orbital, Goldie, The Brand New Heavies and All Saints. For over eight years he's hosted BBC Radio 1's dance music oriented 'Essential Selection Show' which has spawned a series od 'Essential' comps mixed by DJ's such as Paul Oakenfold, Fatboy Slim and Carl Cox. This release features tracks currently huge on dance floors worldwide by the likes of Rui Da Silva, Pete Heller, Future Shock, Sonic Infusion and more. Standard jewel case. 2001 release.
